Despite our maverick dispositions, discipline and process are paramount to us. Having these to fall back on is what gives us the courage to get a little wild. Together with our in-house brand development model, insightOUT™, we use a direct-to-designer approach and Design Thinking to produce predictably potent results for clients across architecture, construction, and engineering. Design Thinking is so engrained in our DNA as creatives that our mouths turn to mush trying to describe it. For inquiring minds, we break it down here:
There’s so much to learn with every client, every project, and every problem. So we approach it all with wide-eyed curiosity. We’ll clarify the vision, goals, and values for everyone involved, plus research needs and perceptions, interview decision makers, and evaluate existing efforts and competition.
This stage is less about resting our chins on our fists and furrowing the heck out of our brows and much more about gleaming “aha!” moments from Step 1. We take a hard look at the parameters we discovered and craft them into workable theories and concepts.
Cue the knuckle cracks because it’s time to get to work. Pencils hit paper and ideas start flying. The best ones are refined and given a little extra love before being proudly paraded to you for the all-important thumbs up. Ideas here aren’t always fully fleshed out, but we trust you can dream big with us.
Arguably the most crucial step in the entire process. We take the time to sit down and really listen to feedback while making the product better each time we come back to it. Then, we’ll help you build consensus and get all of your key stakeholders invested in the big idea.
The proverbial cherry on top of the design thinking process – but it’s not time to slow up just yet. We design thoughtful additions to our approved creative, finalize everything into the proper formats (we got this part, don’t worry), distribute to the media we’ve chosen, then do our own performance testing. Lift off.
